a HEK293 cells were transfected with ECSIT-Myc, TRAF6-Flag, or empty vector. After 24 h post-transfection, the cells were lysed and IP analyses with Flag antibody. b HEK293 cells were transfected with TAK1-Flag, ECSIT-Myc, or empty vector. After 24 h post-transfection, the cells were lysed and IP analyses with Myc antibody. c HEK293 cells were transfected with TRAF6-Myc, ECSIT-HA, empty vector, or different concentrations of calpain2a-ΔCysPc-Flag. After 24 h post-transfection, the cells were lysed and IP analyses with Myc antibody. d HEK293 cells were cotransfected with ECSIT-Myc, TRAF6-HA, WT-ubiquitin-His together with calpain2a-Flag, calpain2a-ΔCysPc-Flag or empty vector. After 24 h post-transfection, the cells were lysed and purified with Ni-NTA agarose. e HEK293 cells were transfected with BECN1-Flag, TRAF6-Myc, or empty vector. After 24 h post-transfection, the cells were lysed and IP analyses with Myc antibody. f HEK293 cells were cotransfected with BECN1-HA, TRAF6-Myc, WT-ubiquitin-His together with calpain2a-Flag, calpain2a-ΔCysPc-Flag or empty vector. After 24 h post-transfection, the cells were lysed and purified with Ni-NTA agarose. The immunoprecipitates and input with anti-Myc, anti-Flag, anti-HA, and anti-Tubulin Abs. All experiments were performed in at least three independent experiments.
